Chunky Beanie

RV Camping over at Fort Ebey this weekend was rather chilly, but clear enough the first day for us to view the paragliders. People say we look like we go on alot of trips, however it is more that we are fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest where scenes like this are but a short drive away. This campground is near Deception Pass. It has alot of "history" and was an unused fort in WWII.

Cold and breezy,....so I made a hat pattern in one day and wore it to bed that night. Brr!This one is Chunky Knit Beanie, from a friend to knit with (link on the right). Free and easy pattern!

Used Lion Brand Wool-Ease, Thick and Quick Yarn in Barley.

Size 15 circular needles.

Cast on for size Large. Garter stitch and stockinette. Seam up the side. Voila!

And on the way into town we "had" to stop at Starbucks and I found a woolie friend...

Paulette's Cap

Woke up to snow the size of Pringles potato chips...big chunky fluffs. It's March-go figure. Paulette's Cap is complete. This is my first ever hat! Made for a friend at work who is going through chemo, I'm hoping this acrylic/wool/viscose blend will feel nicely on her head. Made from Patons Shetland Chunky Tweed in deep red on size 8 and size 10 circulars. I knit it in the round with no seaming.
This is based on the pattern: Ann's Cap by Jan Hamby (You can go to that link for the FREE pattern)


It varies somewhat from the pattern because I did the first part of it on the plane and I modified the pattern rows a bit, but it adds variation!

T'was a good snowy day for modeling a hat!
